Day 4 of R4V- MEMORIAL DAY- 5K + 1.5 mile
It was really difficult to get motivated today, after such a strenuous few days. Finally, got up and finished the last 2 events. Due to the rain, I decided to complete the 5K on the treadmill at the YMCA.

| 5K |
It was not fast by any means, but I did run. I was going to just walk the distance for completion, but the realization I have been given the privilege by the blood, sweat and tears of fallen soldiers, motivated me not to walk. Done. One more distance to complete, which was the 1.5 mile. I thought it would be a good idea to swim this with flippers. Having not swam in over 6 months, turned out to be a bad idea. After 3/4 of a mile, taking 45+ minutes, I hopped out of the pool, and run the last 3/4 of a mile. It took me 1 hour and 9 minutes to finish up this distance. It was a humbling experience, to have completed this event for Memorial Day! God Bless America!
Distance: 5K
Duration: 33 minutes
